NAME
ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtUtils::MakeMaker
SYNOPSIS
use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
DESCRIPTION
See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the semantics.
Overridden methods
- dlsyms
- xs_dlsyms_ext
On Win32, is .def.
- replace_manpage_separator
- Changes the path separator with .
- maybe_command
- Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check the file extension. The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd will be used by default.
- init_DIRFILESEP
- Using \ for Windows, except for gmake where it is /.
- init_tools
- Override some of the slower, portable commands with Windows specific ones.
- init_others
- Override the default link and compile tools. LDLOADLIBS’s default is changed to =$Config={libs}. Adjustments are made for Borland’s quirks needing -L to come first.
- init_platform
- Add MM_Win32_VERSION.
- platform_constants
- specify_shell
Set SHELL to =$ENV={COMSPEC} only if make is type ’gmake’.
- constants
- Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.
- special_targets
- Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
- static_lib_pure_cmd
- Defines how to run the archive utility
- dynamic_lib
- Methods are overridden here: not dynamic_lib itself, but the utility ones that do the OS-specific work.
- extra_clean_files
- Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated by gcc. Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.
- init_linker
- perl_script
Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.
- quote_dep
- xs_obj_opt
Override to fixup -o flags for MSVC.
- pasthru
- All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its damned banner.
- arch_check (override)
- Normalize all arguments for consistency of comparison.
- oneliner
- These are based on what command.com does on Win98. They may be wrong for other Windows shells, I don’t know.
- (no term)
- dmake can handle Unix style cd’ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot. It wants: cd dir1\dir2 command another_command cd ..\..
- max_exec_len
- nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
- os_flavor
- Windows is Win32.
- dbgoutflag
- Returns a CC flag that tells the CC to emit a separate debugging symbol file when compiling an object file.
- cflags
- Defines the PERLDLL symbol if we are configured for static building since all code destined for the perl5xx.dll must be compiled with the PERLDLL symbol defined.
- make_type
- Returns a suitable string describing the type of makefile being written.
